My wife runs a mommy board and the performance is horrible.
Current host is Dreamhost. They have a VPS and use a memory manager tool to adjust on the fly. It still reboots daily and at times is just inaccessible.
Site has 200+ users
1k posts a day (80 or so new topics, skrub loves new threads
MySQL(i) 5.1.56-log)
database size: 1gb
phpBB version 3.0.12
Why does this run like such shit? Dreamhost tells me it's out of memory and rebooted for that reason 5 times today. Default is 300MB and I have no idea if that should be enough. They say just increase it and see if the problem goes away. But I wonder is there something else causing it to slowly creep up and crap out. Throwing memory and money at it in that case seems useless.
So, ditch dreamhost? Add more memory? Prune the DB?
